Darryl Dyck?AP(TORONTO) ? The company behind the Keystone XL pipeline submitted on Thursday a new presidential permit application to the U.S. Department of State for approval. The application by TransCanada comes after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an order earlier this week to expedite the project. Ninety-seven percent of Canada`s oil exports go to the U.S.Keystone XL would carry more than one-fifth of the oil Canada exports to the United States. Trump directed the State Department and other agencies to make a decision within 60 days of a final application. Former President Barack Obama rejected Keystone XL in 2015, saying it would undercut efforts to cinch a global climate change deal in his environmental agenda.
